Motive 4:10's

Motive 4:10's
Thinking about running 4:10's in my DD, M6, bolt on, 02 SS... My factory gears are noisey, at least i think it's them. Just worried about how long they will last and how bad that will affect my MPG's. Along with what it'll do to my gear length through 4th. I've pretty much heard all around that 6th will still drop to 1900 an cruise. If anyone has any experience with these or input on other options I'd appreciate it. I've read on people swapping to 3:73 in the A4's but can't seem to find anything on the M6's... TIA

i had a m6 car with 4;10's and loved the drive with it, never had any problems out of it, very fun to drive.
and far as gas milage i got 20mpg out of mine with full exhaust, i didtn think was to bad with that low of gears.
if i had a m6 again i would go with 4;10's if it was me.

Well my 3:42's are noisey now, so I'm using that as an excuse to upgrade. (assuminng it;s the actual gears making the noise) and I'm not looking to be NASCAR zoom zoom guy, just a little extra get up and go... I've heard 4:10's do great things but break easily...

I had a set of 4.10's in my car when I got it, hammered them pretty good and they never whined or broke, but thats only with bolt ons and street tires, no clutch dumps either. What ended up blowing apart was the differential, the Auburn finally gave up the ghost.

Its not the brand, its the nature of the gearset. 4.10 gears have smaller teeth.

I'm not even sure what the "auburn" is... What's the difference between 3:90's and 4:10's? I mean I know the basics but is the difference that big? I never really dump my clutch anyway. CAn't ever get traction that way, I usually ease into it then lay into it little by little... I'm not a track kinda guy...

Sounds like someone swapped your rear from one out of a V6 F-body!!

Kinda, Auburn is more like the 'type' of posi unit, auburn uses a clutch or clutches , The cones in the Auburn are used to create friction just like clutches i guess ... Torsen (99' and up) is a torque biasing diff, which doesnt actually work unless you are applying torque.
